I might buy one, I miss my flip phone and hate my current android phone.
I have an apple phone which may be better, but I have not used it yet cause I have only had it a few weeks
I really want a punkt phone, but they are overpriced

Apple and Samsung need some competitors that don’t track every move you make
At least that's how it works now with ICE drivers buying gas. There's a carbon tax that oil refineries have to pay unless they offset their refinery sins by paying indulgences known as RIN's (Renewable Identification Numbers, a much nicer sounding name than "carbon tax" or "carbon credits"). IIRC correctly, they can buy those at about 75 cents for every gallon of gas produced -- a cost passed on to consumers.

So the Elon Musk parody account is a sock puppet?
Maybe he will bypass google/androit and apple.
I’m beggin’ ya, Elon... Get the band back together ... That’ would be the Research In Motion band, and bring back BlackBerry.
It’s not a new phone that’s hard, it’s a new operating system.
And the trick would be to make all the Apps designed for both Android & Apple to also work on the new operating system. If anyone can do it it’s Elon, and if he does it he might become the world’s first trillionaire.
Given that he already has StarLink, it wouldn’t surprise me.
It would be extra fun if it’s internet worked everywhere with Starlink.
if it runs a de-spywared version of android or ios it’ll do well.
if it runs its own operating system its success will depend on app makers making apps that work on it.
Mother Rucker once again reaching for his pearls of paranoia. And I know he lurks here after being banned what seems like ages ago.
You are always good for a laugh, JD. Get that through your tiny lesser hominid skull.
Hury and announce it before the iPhone 15 comes out
"U.S wireless carrier T-Mobile US Inc will use Elon Musk-owned SpaceX’s Starlink satellites to provide mobile users with network access in parts of the United States, the companies announced on Thursday, outlining plans to connect users’ mobile phones directly to satellites in orbit."
"The new plans, which would exist alongside T-mobile’s existing cellular services, would cut out the need for cell towers and offer service for sending texts and images where cell coverage does not currently exist, key for emergency situations in remote areas, Musk said at a flashy event on Thursday at his company’s south Texas rocket facility."
I just would like to be able to make calls.

A “smartest” phone?
Unless he’s got a team writing a new OS, it’ll run Android. And the market is already flooded with smart devices running Android. And if he’s trying to write a new OS, it’ll be years before they catch up with IOS and Android.
I read about his phone last year. It will have the ability to make phone calls thru his starlink satellite network.
When his Starlink stock IPO happens it will go up and up like his rockets. Musk said maybe 2025 or 2026. He says he has to make more money. Starlink already has made $17 billion...
It will handle internet, tv shows and movies, sports and phones calls. Musk will be a trillionaire and I will be worth many millions as I will buy the stock.
Do the batteries spontaneously combust on them too?
